Cream with the effect of Botox - an alternative to an invasive procedure?

Scientists and cosmetics manufacturers outdo each other in creating new and more innovative substances to satisfy consumers and give them what they expect, i.e. healthy, radiant skin without the use of a scalpel and the need to spend a fortune on professional treatments. One of the cosmetic ingredients gaining popularity is the so-called. cream with botox effect.

Botulinum toxin. Botox is poison?

Botulinum toxin is one of the most dangerous poisons. After appropriate processing, it is used in medicine and cosmetics, i.e. like botox. Injected into the tissues of the face, it affects nerve transmitters and significantly reduces muscle mobility. Due to this, mimic wrinkles are less visible and do not deepen. However, the Botox injection procedure is relatively expensive. In addition, the skin may suffer from such injections. Not surprisingly, many people do not want to take risks and have a negative attitude towards Botox.

Botox alternative. Neuropeptides and Nutripeptides.

Cosmetics manufacturers come to the rescue, trying for years to match the effectiveness of professional products. Cosmetics with the effect of Botox called SYN-AKE have been on the market for several years. The patented molecule is a lab-created neuropeptide modeled after viper venom.

Many aesthetic doctors are unambiguously opposed to the use of this type of product, assuming their uselessness. Cosmetics are not able to penetrate the muscles to immobilize them. However, snake venom products have many ardent supporters who note the effect of their action in the form of smoothing mimic wrinkles and skin tightening.

Who is right? Probably, as usual, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Of course, the procedures are more effective, no cream can achieve such an effect as when treated by a doctor, but not every skin problem requires the intervention of aesthetic medicine.

It is worth remembering that Botox-type cosmetics act quite gently and will not give us impressive results. In addition, they do not act immediately, but only after a few weeks of regular use. However, is this not an advantage for people who avoid real Botox due to the exaggerated effect and long time it takes for the toxin to decompose in the body?

Syn®-Ake, Matrixil®, R-Peptides, Argireline™, Neuropeptide 3D Lift, Syn®-Coll

These are registered trade names for peptide complexes from different manufacturers that are used in various cosmetic products with a "Botox-like" effect. Reading the descriptions of these ingredients, you may come across names such as tripeptides, neuropeptides, nutripeptides, biomimetic peptides, and many others.

Each of these ingredients has been tested in a number of ways, each has a different effect on the skin, but the most important is the final effect in the form of a relatively fast lifting effect. The physiology and structure of the skin are very complex issues, as are the composition of products. Other skin tightening ingredients are also important in cosmetic Botox creams. Therefore, from the description of the differences between the individual names, you will not know which of the listed ingredients, and therefore which cosmetic product “with the Botox effect” is best suited in your case. To find out, you need to test a specific product on yourself.
